Meanwhile, Umar Sadiq is expected to be involved in UD Almeria’s final League game of the Segunda Liga season.

The game against CD Leganes will potentially decide if Almeria picks automatic promotion to LaLiga.

In their places, the NFF has, reportedly, approved the invitation of Terem Moffi and Innocent Bonke, both have concluded their season with FC Lorient in the Ligue 1.

The third change, goalkeeper Adebayo Adeleye, steps in for the injured Okoye and in a decision that leaves handlers of the team with the tough choice to pick a No. 1 between the Ligat ha’AL based player and the NPFL duo, Olorunleke Ojo and Adewale Adeyinka.
